Greetings in the Lord! I am Eva Poon, the Children’s Pastor at GCGCNY. The Lord had called me to start serving here in 2019, and I have loved worshipping here from day one.

As well, I am really grateful for all the devoted ministry leaders in this church, especially those helping with the Children’s Ministry.
